1050ti is not worth buying when u already have RX 460

As I said earlier, it's strong enough for now, I suggest u just save up and get a whole new rig later on, this oct, coffelake will be released
Haswell is decent, yes
Would be more decent and better if u had unlocked Mobo, if not, I rather go with the newer gen later on imo :)

But either way u still had few options:
1. Getting a i7 4770 should help u on CPU intensive, and u can just save up for a GPU leap later, 4770 can still handle gtx 1070/1080 just fine
2. Save up the money and get a platform leap later on, either on coffelake / ryzen / ryzen 2.0, since the rig u have now is still pretty decent for gaming (but don't expect to max out settings on AAA title)

Can't see the motherboard, the pic's not loading. Definitely worth upgrading the CPU, I suppose a Haswell i7 (say a 4770) would be a good option if you can find it for cheap, AND depending on your motherboard (agsin: can't see the picture). After that I would go for a GPU, maybe something like a 1060 if you can find it at a good price. Finally, I would suggest adding another 8GB of DDR3 RAM. Also get an SSD if you don't have one yet.
Another question: At what resolution do you game and what's your monitor's refresh rate?

Technically you could get a used i7 4790 on ebay, upgrade the memory to 16gb, along with any graphics card from a gtx 1060 all all the way to a 1080 TI and this would be a massive upgrade. However you'd have to be comfortable and have knowledge on physically installing processors. I would need the exact make and model of your motherboard before confirming this.

Ok, well then even a 1050(ti) would probably do the trick, paired with like an i5 4670 or something, I suppose that shouldn't break the bank.
